"I don't think it's a frivolous objection," Secretary of State Kris Kobach, an informal Romney advisor, said in reference to a complaint filed by Manhattan, Kansas, birther Joe Montgomery. "I do think the factual record could be supplemented."

Kobach and the other two members of the board — Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer — sent requests for a copy of Obama's birth certificate to officials in Hawaii, Arizona, and Mississippi.

The President officially released his long-form birth certificate last year, but birthers continue to deny its veracity.

The Capital-Journalnotes that a Kansas ballot without President Obama on it would be particularly strange "given the president's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and maternal grandparents, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham, were Kansas natives."

UPDATE: Sanity wins: Joe Montgomery withdraws his complaint due to "public reaction," says he has been unsuccessful in "achieving a constructive dialogue."
